MAsSILLON, o., Feb, 14.-The bubble
Of the startling revelations made by the
Robinson woman In connection with
the identityAOf the thugs who assaulted
Hoehn and 7Hulligsn at Ravenna has
burst. Upon the arrival Of Detectlye
L0hrer this morning hewas met at the
depot by Marshal Vending, Officer
Hagan and the DEMOCRAT correspondent
and escorted directly TO the city prison.
He led the woman from her name and
place Of birth up to her confession Sat
urday night, questioning her particu-
laTlY only In regard to her connection
with and kno Wedge Of the receiving Of
the fur garments, stolen from Benedict
& Ruedy, at Jennie Rodgers house, No.
1873 Third avenue, Plttsburg. She
elaborated upon her story as told the
writer last night to the effect that the
wraps came there in two drv goods
boxes on an express wagon about q. m.
Sunday following the rObbery; that two
male members Of the organizsd gang Of
crooks who were Ia the house at the
time paid the driver $40; that she was
awakened and assisted three other girls
OF the house, who had not retired, 10
folding apd hacking the wraps In The
cnpboRrds and an iceb0x In the base
ment, and that they were yet there
when she left last Thursday evening.
This part Of the narrative Detective
LOhrer did not hesitate to pr nounee ab-
sOlutely false, ss he was In Pittsburg
six days on the case and knows posi-
lively that one trunk full Of the goods
was taken to private house on quiet
| street in Allegheny; another to a hotel
near Penn Avenue and Sixth street, and
aft6rwaTd repacked In new trunks and
shipped east. LOhIer regards her story
ss decidedly gaJzy throughout, except,
possibly, her individual career, and
thinks its object is to attain little
nOtoriety or perhaps be avenged upon
the man whom she calls her husband.
LOhrer said, however, that to any one
not as familiar with the case as he is
the story certainly was plausible.
WELL KNOWN IN CANTON.
The Margery Robinson, who claims to
be the wife Of one of the men who mur-
dered Hulligsn, and who "peached" on
the crowd at MsssillOn, is identical with
Lizzie Robinson, q worthless young
strumpet, who until some months ago
was the inmate Of Dan. Winklemsn's g
joint In this city. When she left here
she went to MassillOn and from there
was sent to the Northern Ohio Insane
Asylum, having mild attack of insan-
tty. Not long ago she was released and
turned up at Massillon again as q street
walker and general r0under. Canton
police authorities think that she either
lied deliberately to gain nOtoriety, or
had another insane flt.
